I hope you have enjoyed the red tail family this year. This has been one of the best experiences of my life. I enjoyed watching the adults build the nest, the female sitting on the eggs, wondering how many little eyas there will be, seeing the eyas for the first time, then realizing there were 3, watching them fly, playing together and more.

I will be watching for any sightings of the red tail hawks family but it appears they have moved on.

With any luck there will be a family in the nest next year. Thanks for you emails and comments. Please keep the notes coming.

Youngest Eyas will be missed.
